LA VERGNE, TN (WGNS) - La Vergne residents will have a chance to hear directly from their police department later this month during a Community Safety Meeting set for Monday, June 24, 2026, at 6:00 PM. The gathering will take place at Rock Springs Elementary School, 1000 Waldron Road, and everyone in the community is encouraged to attend.

Chief Chris Moews (pronounced Mays) says the goal is simple: keep residents informed, involved, and connected. Officers will walk through current crime trends, offer updates on ongoing public‑safety initiatives, and take questions straight from the people who live and work in La Vergne. It’s meant to be a conversation, not a lecture, and the department hopes residents will come ready to share what they’re seeing in their neighborhoods.

The chief will lead the discussion alongside members of the La Vergne Police Department. Moews often emphasizes that effective policing depends on communication and trust, and this meeting is designed to strengthen both. He has repeatedly said that public safety isn’t something the department can accomplish alone—it works best when residents and officers are talking openly and working together.

The department notes that its mission goes beyond responding to calls or investigating crimes. Building relationships, fostering transparency, and addressing concerns before they grow into larger issues are all part of the job. Meetings like this one give residents a chance to learn what’s happening behind the scenes while giving officers a clearer picture of what matters most to the community.

Whether you have a specific concern, a question about crime trends, or simply want to stay informed, the department hopes you’ll make time to attend. Your voice matters, and your participation helps shape the direction of public safety efforts in La Vergne.

The meeting begins at 6:00 PM on June 24 at Rock Springs Elementary School. The department says it looks forward to seeing a strong turnout and hearing directly from the community it serves.
